Postdoctoral researchers are essential in academia, conducting research and teaching, yet they face instability due to temporary contracts, leading to career uncertainty and mental health issues.
Despite generally positive experiences with supervisors, many postdoctoral researchers express anxiety about their future career paths, prompting consideration of non-academic careers and emphasizing the need for better guidance.
Previous surveys indicate significant mental health disparities among postdocs, particularly those on fellowships or with caregiving responsibilities, necessitating targeted support to address these challenges.
The data reveals stark contrasts between postdoctoral communities, highlighting that while 20% of Leibniz postdocs are international, this figure jumps to 75% at MPG, stressing the need for tailored approaches.
